Stockbridge Farm Barn is situated four miles south of Sherborne, with its historic abbey. It is set on a small working farm in the glorious Dorset countryside, the very area that inspired Thomas Hardy.
Unlimited potential for all kinds of social functions and special events in this magical corner of Dorset  from an idyllic wedding through Medieval Banquets, anniversary and birthday parties to exhibitions.
The Barn exudes atmosphere and has changed very little from its original state. You can organise your own supplies of everything from catering and flowers to balloons and music, or let us advise you.
Carpeted, beautifully lit and with a spacious 18 foot wooden dance floor, the barn sits 180 people comfortably, or more if you choose to have an adjoining marquee.
We had such a wonderful wedding reception at Stockbridge Farm Barn, and we highly recommend it to anyone planning their special day, or any other kind of celebration. The barn has a magical quality to it, and it was just the right size to provide space and grandeur, but with a really comfortable and personal feeling.


What do GP and Blythe Danner talk about when they get together? In this personal and candid episode of The goop Podcast, GP and her mom discuss the people and forces that shaped Blythe growing up, and as a woman, on and off the stage—including GP. They talk about what it was like acting together, why Blythe was hard on her daughter, and things they would have done—or said—differently. They talk about old boyfriends. They talk about Tinder and vibrators. They talk about the strange thing that happens when you win a major award (an Oscar for GP, a Tony for Blythe) at twenty-six. They talk about how much they love GP's dad and still feel him with them. They talk about co-parenting and forgiveness. They talk about what's left to accomplish—and the beauty of letting go.


The long-term stability of these molecules is worrying: "if these pesticides are brought back to the hive with nectar, this implies that the entire colony, including the queen, is exposed during its entire life to these neurotoxins", points out Blaise Mulhauser, director of the Botanical Garden of Neuchâtel.
The new method is a significant step forward and major feat in terms of analytical capacity for the Neuchâtel Platform of Analytical Chemistry led by the senior author of the study, Gaétan Glauser: This method now allows detecting concentrations as low as 2 picograms per gram of honey. This corresponds to the mass of a US quarter dollar coin in the mass of 5.6 Eiffel towers or 278 Statues of Liberty!
The up to 1000 fold increase in sensitivity as compared to previous methods now makes it possible to obtain a clearer picture of the environmental contamination by neonicotinoid pesticides. "Maximal concentrations allowed for human consumption are in the range of 50'000 pg/g while bees and other pollinators and beneficial insects are affected by concentrations as low as 100 pg/g. Although this concentration may seem extremely low, it still represents billions of molecules in the brain of a single bee", notes Edward Mitchell.

My entire professional career has focused on death, dying, and pre-planning. I started out my professional career as a licensed mortician. It is not all as macabre as you may think! I find peace in helping my clients and their family prepare for the "inevitable" (death and taxes), and make life's transitions easier.
I help clients navigate estate planning, as they focus on asset growth, to long-term care planning, where the focus shifts to asset preservation and care. After a death occurs, I help resolve contested Will or Trust issues (litigation), counsel on Medical Assistance claims, and guide families through the probate process.
I obtained my law degree from the University of St. Thomas School of Law and earned Bachelor of Science degrees from the University of Minnesota in Biology, Physiology, and Mortuary Science. My background and experience as a licensed mortician provides me with a unique perspective in both estate planning and elder law.
I enjoy a broad-based Estate and Elder Law practice, with emphasis on long-term care planning, asset protection, government benefits, estate planning, estate administration (probate), trusts, litigation, and mortuary law.

First off Home Care Assistance is in home care.
The staff is absolutely amazing. From the home care liaison to the scheduling staff and the individuals that come to stay with my mother.
Everyone is so professional and kind and friendly.
I was hesitant at first to allow someone I didn't know into my house. But I went ahead and started having someone come stay with my mom so my husband and I could get out a couple of nights a week.
Home Care Assistance is the best place and I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone who is looking for on home care for a loved one.
The caregiver's from Home Care Assistance of the Grand Strand were very helpful the could of times that they went to my parent's home. [Removed] was remarkable, she was a great source even after they were not receiving care from them.
My step-mom is very happy with the care and environment at this community. I think the care has been excellent for my mom. The communication is good between the staff and I. This is a community that I would recommend to someone.
Everything is working out pretty well for me with this home care agency. The care giver's they have sent out have been great. They help me with some cooking, light cleaning, and some personal care. It has been a good experience so far. I would recommend this home care to anyone.
It has been working out fine for my family and dad. The staff are doing a great job with the care they provide. I have a clear communication with the staff and they are providing all they are suppose to do for my dad. It is a clean community for everybody.
They did a great job! It's still new but they showed up and everyone has been friendly. We are happy with them so far.
Home Care Assistance of the Grand Strand - Pawleys Island, SC has been recognized for consistently high ratings from residents and their families in previous years.


A 15-digit set of numbers unique to every individual SKU. No print costs, no faulty duplication – just a row of numbers that allows an individual user to access and download a game to their library. How do we value that?
The simple answer is that we should value it in the exact same way we did a cassette, a floppy disk, a cartridge or a CD: by the quality of the content it releases. We should treat a Steam key with exactly the same attention to detail and security as we treat a PS4 Blu-ray.
Valve is extremely flexible with how you can use your keys. They recognise that it is your product and understand that each user of a key ends up on their platform as their customer – even if they do not get the initial purchase value.
This has led to a plethora of great gamers sharing their experiences and promoting your titles to an ever-growing audience. But with every benefit comes a risk, and there are just as many 'gamers' out there who have recognised an opportunity – and they are growing just as quickly.
We receive many requests every day for keys – from the YouTuber or Twitcher with 6m followers who will review your game live for all to see, to the blatantly honest "I am very poor and cannot afford to buy your game, please can you send me a free key?". In the middle of these lie a huge amount of curators and start-ups who promise to review or promote your title to their thousands of followers.
So, how do we differentiate the valid from the exploitative?
"We should treat a Steam key with exactly the same attention to detail and security as we treat a PS4 Blu-ray."
The first step is to place the same value on a product key as you would on a physical product.
Sure, you don't have the packaging costs and postage to think of, but releasing 100 keys to one small start-up that promises to run a competition to its fanbase is the equivalent of packing up a box of 100 packaged CDs and sending them via UPS to an address in the Ukraine – with the vital difference that actually you don't even know the address of where you are sending them, and run a pretty high chance that some of those keys will end up in the hands of people who may have been considering purchasing the game had they not been presented with a legitimate key for free.
I am not saying to not use keys for promotional circumstances, even in large numbers.
We have more than once used a large key giveaway to spark increased sales of a good game by giving it a solid userbase and creating a good review culture around the title.
Badly-placed giveaways can be just as damaging and there are many keys sloshing around, particularly in the Russian regions, undermining the retail value of a title and causing a knock-on race to the bottom effect that can have a long-term effect on the development industry, especially for smaller independent developers.
So the recommendation is to work with a knowledgeable and established publisher or, at the very least, lean on an experienced PR agency to make sure that your keys are going to places that will benefit a game you have confidence in.
A good game will find its value whether at full price, in an occasional weekly sale or as part of a bundle.
Value your product at all times, and remember: a product key for your game is still your product – even if it's only a 15-digit representation of it.

Government employees in Telangana protest over pay cut
Politicking
Government Employees In Telangana In Distress Over Salary Cuts
It has been three months of 50% pay cut and the state is silent about when the remainder will be paid up
Manasa Chennapragada
58-year-old T Devake Devi who lives and works in Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao's native Karimnagar district, is in dire straits.
Despite having a "secure" job as a teacher in a government school, Devake is uncertain about her future and anxious about the present.
Devake has been struggling against all odds to ensure the best treatment possible for her mentally ill son.
"I have two children and my first son is mentally ill," Devake Devi told The Lede. "Since I am not in a position to take care of him, I have admitted him in a private hostel. My family is dependent on my salary."
But with the Telangana government now slashing salaries of all government staff by 50%, Devake's family has been pushed to the wall.
"The Telangana government claims to be a friendly government. Even we thought so, but deducting our salaries is not a friendly thing. I am a rheumatoid arthritis patient. I am completely dependent on others and have to spend a lot on medication. Even in the school (where she teaches) since I can't move, I sit in one place and teach the students. Though I have this problem I have never stopped teaching students," she said.
The financial crunch is so bad that she is unable to pay back a recent home loan, the hostel fee for her son and medication for herself and her son.
"The government has given moratorium to pay home loans but I got to know that if I pay later then I will have to pay more interest which I can't afford. So I am paying my home loan and taking care of house expenses. Since I have to handle house expenses with this half salary I have stopped buying medication. Now I am buying only essential medicines and stopped buying strength and nutrition-related medicines," she said.
Devake's is only one among 1.15 lakh government teachers whose salaries have been cut by half. The entire government machinery has been forced to take similar pay cuts as a result of COVID-19.
That works out to approximately 3.5 lakh government employees and 2.4 lakh pensioners.
It has been three months of receiving just 50% of their salary and these government employees are protesting, saying they are unable to make ends meet.
On June 01, government employees and pensioners from Ikya Vedika (Teachers' group) and Democratic Teachers Front (DTF) protested in front of all district Collectorates demanding that they get the remaining salary due to them in the months of March, April and May.
Talking to The Lede, State Steering Committee member and DTF state president M Raghushankar Reddy said, "Using the Corona pandemic as a reason, the state government is deducting 50% of salaries for the past three months from government employees and pensioners."
The nationwide lockdown was announced on March 24. All government employees in Telangana had been working for at least 22 days before the announcement. Yet, their salaries have been halved.
In April and May, many government offices and all government schools were closed. The chief minister had announced a temporary 50% slash in salary to be credited to the staff after the economy stabilised.
"In May, after the lockdown relaxation by both state and central governments, all economic activities have returned to normalcy and the government is getting income. So we have requested the government to pay at least our full basic salary from this month and have sent messages and tweets to the state Finance Minister, Chief Secretary, (IT minister) KTR and the CM," said Raghushankar Reddy.
"Even for pensioners, in the first month, they have deducted 50%. Since they have gone to the court, government reduced it to 25%. Government employees take loans for children's education, house loans, based on our salaries. We also have elder parents who need medication and have to bear their hospital expenses. Due to the 50% pay cut, it has become difficult for us to pay EMIs and manage our family needs," added Reddy.
Government teacher based in Siddipet, 44-year-old A Raghunandan Chary, agrees with Raghushankar Reddy.
"I am the only earning person in my family. I have to take care of the expenses of my children for their education and also the medical expenses of my elder parents. Apart from this I have taken a home loan and have to pay EMI for household items. Thanks to this pay cut, I have taken a private loan of Rs 30 thousand at 3% interest rate for the last three months. I am very worried about how to repay this extra amount," he added.
The neighbouring Telugu state of Andhra Pradesh initially announced salary cuts and deferments for government employees for the month of March and April in light of the COVID situation. But chief minister, Jaganmohan Reddy, has paid out the entire salary to government employees for the month of May.
"KCR's government hasn't fulfilled his promise made on May 16, 2018, in which he promised to pay our PRC (Pay Revision Commission), IR (Interim Relief) and DA (Dearness Allowance) in three months," said Raghushankar Reddy. "He also assured us that we will get our IR immediately from June. It is been prolonged for two years. Now they are saying that we will get it on December 31. Whereas our neighbouring state Andhra Pradesh, during Chandrababu Naidu's tenure got 20% and in the present Jagan government, employees got an additional 7% which comes to a total of 27%."
It is clear that government employees are struggling. But will this uprising go the way of the RTC buses strike or will all government employees actually band together and demand their dues?

Hope Solo: Young U.S. Women's squad are playing the most "incredible" soccer of my international career
HOUSTON – Hope Solo has been guarding net for the U.S. Women's National Team for a long time – for nearly the entire 21st century, in fact, having made her senior-team debut way back in 2000.
But she's never seen the USWNT playing with the fluidity and mastery that they've shown in 2016. And the children – relatively speaking – are leading them.
That was the outspoken goalkeeper's message after her team thumped Trinidad & Tobago 5-0 on Friday night to book their tickets to Rio de Janeiro for this summer's Olympic Games and reach the championship final of the CONCACAF qualifying tournament, where they will duel border rivals Canada on Sunday.
+READ: Brazil bound: U.S. Women book Olympic berth with walkover win vs. Trinidad & Tobago
"I've been on this team a long time and I've seen a lot of different styles of play," said Solo, "but we are finally playing an incredible possession style of soccer. It's beautiful. That's a testament to the youth, that's a testament to growing the sport in America, it's a testament to U.S. Soccer having the grassroots teams and putting the money into really building players at a younger age. So I think it's incredible and I'm happy to be a part of it."
A 17-year-old phenom (Mallory Pugh) starting games and creating goals. A 21-year-old (Lindsey Horan) and a 22-year-old (Morgan Brian) anchoring the midfield and setting the tempo. One exciting 23-year-old (Crystal Dunn) scoring goals in bunches, whether as a starter or off the bench, and another (Julie Johnston) a tenacious warrior in the heart of the defense.
After years of heavy reliance on proven veterans, the USWNT have finally opened the door to a new generation – and the youngsters have not only held their own, but sent notice that they are ready to push their elders to the limit.

"I think it says a lot about this team, but even beyond that, I think it says a lot about the game here in America," said Solo.
Stunningly, it was Pugh who set the tone on Friday, isolating Trinidadian defender Khadidra Debesette over and over and running at the exposed right back at will, a matchup that she exploited to create the game's opening goal 12 minutes in.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EeDaY-XGok
"Mallory Pugh being on the field tonight, it was so cool," said Solo. "I was so proud for her to start, and to be honest, she didn't seem nervous, she just seemed excited, and happy, and it was good energy. She didn't show her nerves, probably because she has other players around her who have been successful like Lindsey Horan, and players that she knows well. She just feels at home on the field with all of the players and the mix of all the different ages."
+PODCAST: Mallory Pugh staying at UCLA, plus Amandine Henry to Portland, Australia NWSL rumors
Solo, 33, felt bullish enough to suggest that the USWNT's youth movement are already prepared to lead the way in facing and dispatching the gritty, driven Canadian squad that has proven such a spiky matchup for the U.S. in years past.
"We never play our best game against Canada because it is such a physical game," she said of the "bloodbaths" that border rivalry clashes have often become.
"Hopefully with this new group of players, we'll find a way around that, we'll find a way around their American football-style of play. We'll try to move the ball more around them and not get into that blood match that we tend to do against Canada … That'll be interesting, to see if we can just move the ball – we'll have creative players on the field and keep possession and put them in their place."

/**
 * SECTION:datasets
 * @title: Datasets
 * @short_description: associate groups of data elements with
 *                     particular memory locations
 *
 * Datasets associate groups of data elements with particular memory
 * locations. These are useful if you need to associate data with a
 * structure returned from an external library. Since you cannot modify
 * the structure, you use its location in memory as the key into a
 * dataset, where you can associate any number of data elements with it.
 *
 * There are two forms of most of the dataset functions. The first form
 * uses strings to identify the data elements associated with a
 * location. The second form uses #GQuark identifiers, which are
 * created with a call to g_quark_from_string() or
 * g_quark_from_static_string(). The second form is quicker, since it
 * does not require looking up the string in the hash table of #GQuark
 * identifiers.
 *
 * There is no function to create a dataset. It is automatically
 * created as soon as you add elements to it.
 *
 * To add data elements to a dataset use g_dataset_id_set_data(),
 * g_dataset_id_set_data_full(), g_dataset_set_data() and
 * g_dataset_set_data_full().
 *
 * To get data elements from a dataset use g_dataset_id_get_data() and
 * g_dataset_get_data().
 *
 * To iterate over all data elements in a dataset use
 * g_dataset_foreach() (not thread-safe).
 *
 * To remove data elements from a dataset use
 * g_dataset_id_remove_data() and g_dataset_remove_data().
 *
 * To destroy a dataset, use g_dataset_destroy().

/**
 * SECTION:datalist
 * @title: Keyed Data Lists
 * @short_description: lists of data elements which are accessible by a
 *                     string or GQuark identifier
 *
 * Keyed data lists provide lists of arbitrary data elements which can
 * be accessed either with a string or with a #GQuark corresponding to
 * the string.
 *
 * The #GQuark methods are quicker, since the strings have to be
 * converted to #GQuarks anyway.
 *
 * Data lists are used for associating arbitrary data with #GObjects,
 * using g_object_set_data() and related functions.
 *
 * To create a datalist, use g_datalist_init().
 *
 * To add data elements to a datalist use g_datalist_id_set_data(),
 * g_datalist_id_set_data_full(), g_datalist_set_data() and
 * g_datalist_set_data_full().
 *
 * To get data elements from a datalist use g_datalist_id_get_data()
 * and g_datalist_get_data().
 *
 * To iterate over all data elements in a datalist use
 * g_datalist_foreach() (not thread-safe).
 *
 * To remove data elements from a datalist use
 * g_datalist_id_remove_data() and g_datalist_remove_data().
 *
 * To remove all data elements from a datalist, use g_datalist_clear().

/**
 * GData:
 *
 * The #GData struct is an opaque data structure to represent a <link

 * only be accessed via the following functions.

/**

Q: How does autoview receive trading alerts from TradingView without using webhooks Autoview (https://autoview.with.pink/) is a chrome extension that somehow receives trade alerts from TradingView, it doesn't use webhooks, so I am curious to know how it works.
Hope someone can answer

A: From their website:

To remain decentralized, Autoview stores all of your API keys and
information locally in your Google cloud storage. If you are running
multiple Chromes, when the sync happens it can result in losing your
cloud storage. Shutting all bots off and forcing you to add all your
keys and stuff anew.

After more than a year trudging into the hills avoiding Chiang Kai-shek and the Chinese Nationalist Party, Mao Zedong's First Red Front Army reached Shaanxi on October 20, 1935, ending the Long March. Tired and ragged following an 8,000-mile journey, the Communist Party in China had found itself a new leader — one that would set the nation on a course that continues to this day.
Mao and his contemporary, Zhu De, had quietly founded the Jiangxi-Fujian Soviet in 1930. Based in Ruijin in the southeast of China, Mao managed to secure the help of the Soviet Union to organize the National Soviet People's Delegates Conference and declare a new Chinese Soviet Republic in November 1931. The fragmented nation, already filled with lawless warlords launching attacks on the Kuomintang government of Chiang Kai-shek, now had a second government and sizable army entering what amounted to a civil war.
Seeing Mao and the Communists quickly gain territory and build up a 140,000-strong professional fighting force, Chiang moved his soldiers into the countryside for a series of Encirclement Campaigns. Though the Red Army found some success in the early stages of the conflict, by early October 1934, its numbers had been greatly reduced and the Nationalist Army almost had it surrounded. Attempting to execute Chiang's "Iron Bucket Plan" for the elimination of Communist sympathizers, it seemed as if the Nationalists would inevitably triumph.
Sensing an opportunity to escape before Chiang's forces pinned them in at Lushan, the Communist leadership ordered a secret retreat on October 10, 1934. Six days later, what would become known as the Long March began. Telling the people — including Mao — that the idea was to become a mobile threat to the Nationalists, the committee hid its intention to regroup in Hubei from even those who would undertake the evacuation.
But for a massive defeat just a few weeks after leaving Lushan, the Communists managed to avoid capture by slipping off to the south and west. Working in conjunction with Zhou Enlai, Mao had gained favor by suggesting a movement through Guizhou, Sichuan and Yunnan would allow the Communists to avoid an action against Chiang's army or hostile tribes.
By mid-summer, the Fourth Red Army led by Zhang Guotao had caught up with Zhou and Mao at Lianghekou. The unification was only momentary, with Mao plotting a northern course to Shaanxi and Zhang believing a march further to the southwest a better idea. Chiang's army would manage to catch up with Zhang and his men, coming close to obliterating them in the process.
On October 20, 1935, Mao's First Red Army reached the safety of Shaanxi, connecting with local Communists after pushing his troops through acres of swampland defended by Hui Ma Clique fighters. With thousands of soldiers still working their way to the stronghold of Bao'an, Mao solidified his hold on the leadership of the Party in the following weeks — a position he would maintain for the next four decades until his death in 1976.
Now secluded from the Nationalists, it took another year for the remainder of the Red Army to reach Bao'an. Aided by an uneasy alliance with their Nationalist enemies during the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Communists gained the strength and military experience necessary to drive the Chiang and his men across the South China Sea to Taiwan in 1949, allowing Mao and his fellow Communists to found the People's Republic of China.

Nevada \ Yellow Pine Mining Co.
Yellow Pine Mining Company.
By Andrew Brandon.
T he Yellow Pine Mining Company was founded in 1901 by J. F. Kent, combining a majority of the mining claims in Porphyry Gulch to the north of Goodsprings. He acquired and refurbished the former German-American copper leeching mill, converting it into a gravity concentrator. In 1904 the Salt Lake Route opened the station of Goodsprings Junction (renamed Jean in 1905). The benefit of a standard gauge connection meant reduced shipping costs for goods destined to Goodsprings, and allowing the smelter to ship copper by rail beginning in 1906.
Increasing production prompted Kent to build a railroad and in 1909 he purchased the rails from recently closed Quartette Mine railroad near Searchlight. After facing delivery delays, rails were finally laid between Jean and Goodsprings in June 1911. An additional 4.5 miles was added in August of that year, connecting the mines north of Goodsprings with the mill. At the expense of sharp curves, the track was laid up steeper grades of a maximum of 4-5% on the section between Jean and Goodsprings, the grade from there to the mines reached 12% in some short sections.
The first locomotive on the line was a primative gasoline locomotive that would prove it was ill suited for the steep grades on the line. At the end of it's first few months in operation, the locomotive had been involved in three wrecks, in response a Shay was purchased early in 1912. Between 1915 and 1925 the railroad operated a profitable business and the surrounding area grew. In 1916 Goodsprings was able to boast a population of 800 people. On September 19, 1924 the original mill in Goodsprings burned down.
In 1925 the company came under the management of Jesse Knight and would remain so until 1930. In the summer of 1927 a severe flood damaged the roadbed delaying shipments. Later in the year an engineer lost control of shay #2, thankfully he was able to jump to safety, but the ensuing wreck left the locomotive destroyed. As a result the line did not operate again until the spring of 1928 when a new Whitcomb locomotive was purchased and only then operated in supply trains to the mine. The next year a Plymouth locomotive was added and ores again moved down the mountain.
1929 would prove to be the final year of ore shipments. Operations ceased in 1930 and the line was abandoned in 1934. Two years later mining activity resumed on a limited basis and the mines would reopen fully during the early 1940s to produce lead and zinc. In 1942 the Coronado Copper and Zinc company purchased the mines in 1942. The mines were operated sporatically in the decades following with minimal output, today the mines are dormant and a portion of the former railroad right of way may soon become a hiking trail.

JAY-Z Scores 14th No. 1 Album On Billboard 200 Chart With '4:44'
July 16, 2017 - 8:16 pm by Keith Caulfield
The superstar extends his own record.
JAY-Z collects his 14th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, as his latest release, 4:44, debuts atop the tally. According to Nielsen Music, in the week ending July 13, the set earned 262,000 equivalent album units -- a larger-than-initially-expected sum, and the fourth-largest week of 2017 for any album. Of its total, 174,000 units were in traditional album sales.
4:44's No. 1 arrival extends JAY-Z's record as the solo artist with the most No. 1 albums in the 61-year history of the Billboard 200 chart. He distances himself farther ahead of the two acts with the second-most leaders among soloists: Bruce Springsteen and Barbra Streisand, who each have 11 chart-toppers. Among all acts, JAY-Z has the second-most leaders, behind only The Beatles, which have 19 No. 1s.
JAY-Z also furthers his own record as the artist with the most debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, as all 14 of his albums have bowed in the top slot. (Springsteen has the second-most No. 1 debuts, with eight.)
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption, which includes traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new July 29-dated chart (where JAY-Z starts at No. 1) will be posted in full to Billboard's websites on Tuesday, July 18.
4:44 was initially issued on June 30 (via S. Carter Enterprises/Roc Nation) for one week of streaming exclusivity through Tidal. However, Tidal did not report data for the album to Nielsen Music for the week ending July 6, so the album did not debut on the July 22-dated chart. (In addition, by July 2, the album was also offered as a free download -- sponsored by Sprint -- via the web site 444.tidal.com. The free downloads were ineligible to chart, per Billboard's current pricing policy.)
Then, on July 7, the album became widely available to most streaming services (but not Spotify, as JAY-Z pulled his catalog from the service in April) and to retailers as both a download and CD (with three bonus tracks).
Overall, 4:44's launch of 262,000 units grants the album the fourth-largest week of 2017, behind the debuts of Kendrick Lamar's DAMN. (603,000 units), Drake's More Life (505,000) and Ed Sheeran's ÷ (Divide) (451,000).
Of 4:44's 174,000 sales in the week ending July 13, the set sold 131,000 as a download and 43,000 on CD.
Despite 4:44's absence from Spotify, the album still generated the fourth-biggest streaming debut of 2017. Of its total 262,000-unit start, 7,000 were in TEA units, while SEA units represented 82,000 units. The latter sum equals 122.4 million streams of the album's songs. In terms of streaming debuts in 2017, it trails only Drake's More Life (257,000 SEA units; 384.8 million song streams), Lamar's DAMN. (227,000 SEA units; 340.6 million song streams) and Sheeran's ÷ (90,000 SEA units; 134.6 million song streams).
JAY-Z's previous album, Magna Carta…Holy Grail, debuted at No. 1 in 2013 with 528,000 copies sold in its first week (before the chart transitioned to a consumption-ranked tally in 2014). Like 4:44, Magna Carta was issued in a unique fashion: it was first released (on July 4, 2013) as a free download to certain Samsung phone and tablet users who had downloaded a JAY-Z-centric app. (One million copies were available for free to fans through the app.) It then became widely available to retailers on July 9.
Every one of JAY-Z's solo studio albums have reached No. 1 since 1998's Vol. 2… Hard Knock Life (which was also his first No. 1). His 14 chart-toppers also include three collaborative efforts: one each with R. Kelly (Unfinished Business), Linkin Park (MTV Ultimate Mash-Ups Presents: Collision Course) and Kanye West (Watch the Throne).
The rest of the new top 10 on the July 29-dated Billboard 200 chart will be revealed in a separate story posting later today (July 16).

Jay Z Is Allegedly In Talks To Sell Tidal
TIDAL could be shopping around for a new owner.
Square Inc., the mobile payment app led by Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, might end up acquiring TIDAL, according to Bloomberg. Dorsey and Jay Z have reportedly discussed a possible sale, but it is unclear if the alleged negotiations will actually result in an acquisition.
The rumored sale may have something to do with why Jay put his discography back to Spotify for his 50th birthday last year.
Hov acquired TIDAL for $56 million from Norwegian company, Aspiro, in 2015. The subscription-based music streaming company has been touted as a better option for artists in that it offers higher royalties than competitors like Spotify and Apple Music.
The company has however been accused of not paying artists, and settled an $84 million class action lawsuit last year amid claims of "fraudulently" persuading customers to subscribe by claiming that Kanye West's Life of Pablo album was an exclusive release.
Despite a star-studded 2015 launch event attended by West, Beyoncé, J. Cole, Usher, Rihanna, Madonna, Nicki Minaj and more, TIDAL has had a rocky few years — especially when it comes to corporate leadership. The company went through four CEO's in two years, the most recent of which, Richard Sanders, was appointed to run TIDAL in 2017.
That year, Sprint purchased a 33% stake in TIDAL for $200 million.

Both multi-platinum selling singers have impressive stats. Ashanti's catalog of solo hits include "Foolish," "Rock wit U," "Rain On Me," "Happy," and "Baby." On the collaborative tip, the Grammy winner joined Ja Rule on singles like, "What's Love?" and "Always on Time."
She was also featured on Lloyd's debut single "Southside," "Into You" by Fabolous, and "Body on Me" with Nelly. And she of course wrote songs for Jennifer Lopez and more.
Cole's breakout single, "I Changed My Mind," dropped in 2004 and her career took off from there. The Oakland native boasts a slew of classic R&B singles like "(I Just Want It) To Be Over," "I Should Have Cheated," "Let It Go," "I Remember," "Heaven Sent," "Love," and "Trust." As a featured artist, Cole appeared on Sean Paul's "(When You Gonna) Give It Up to Me," Young Jeezy's "Dreaming," and Diddy's 2006 single "Last Night," to name a few.
Although they're technically going up against each other for Verzuz, there's no beef between the two artists who previously collaborated for the title track off Cole's 2012 album, Woman to Woman.
Casanova Wanted By FBI In Connection With Racketeering Case
Rapper Casanova is wanted by federal investigators in connection with a sweeping indictment charging 18 alleged members of the Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation Gang with various racketeering, murder, drugs, guns, and fraud offenses, the Justice Department announced on Tuesday (Dec. 1).
The FBI New York tweeted a photo of Casanova and encouraged anyone with information on his whereabouts to contact the bureau. "We are still looking for Caswell Senior, aka Casanova, in connection with this case."
The 34-year-old rapper is named in the indictment which was unsealed in a White Plains federal court Tuesday. Casanova is the only one out of 18 defendants who has yet to be arrested, the indictment states.
He faces single cont of conspiracy to commit racketeering, conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. Each charge carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.
"As alleged in the Indictment, members of Gorilla Stone committed terrible acts of violence, trafficked in narcotics, and even engaged in brazen fraud by exploiting benefits programs meant to provide assistance in response to the COVID-19 pandemic," acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said. "Because of that, communities across the Southern District – from Poughkeepsie to Peekskill to New York City – suffered."
"Most shocking, as alleged in the indictment, a minor was murdered in furtherance of the gang's activities," continued Strauss. "Because of the extraordinary work of our law enforcement partners, the defendants now face federal charges for their crimes."
The indictment outlines a string of crimes that took place between Jan. 2018 and Sept. 2020.
Alleged gang member Brandon "Stacks" Soto has been charged in connection with the murder of a 15-year-old victim in Poughkeepsie, New York, in September.
In July, Stephen "Chino" Hugh allegedly shot at rival gang members in New Rochelle to allegedly "maintain and increase his position" in the gang's "racketeering enterprise." A month earlier, suspects Naya "Baby"Austin, Dezon "Blakk" Washington, and Jordan "Flow" Ingram committed armed robbery of a rival drug dealer, the indictment alleges.
Austin and another suspect, Shanay "Easy" Outlaw, were also charged with filing fraudulent documents to receive COVID-19 related unemployment benefits
The indictment goes on to allege that Brinae "Luxury" Thornton shot a rival gang member in Brooklyn in 2018 in an attempt to "maintain and increase her position" in the gang. That year, another alleged gang member, Robert "Blakk Rob" Woods, supposedly slashed a victim in the face.
Also named in the indictment were Dwight "Dick Wolf" Reid, Christopher "Beagle" Erskine, Walter "Shells" Luster, Deshawn "Don" Thomas, Brandon "Untouchable Dot" Nieves, Ahmed "Ammo" Walker, Isaiah "Zay" Santos, and Robert "Trouble" Sligh, all of whom have been arrested and accused of being members of Gorilla Stone.
